  1. (i dont know if this connects to whats been last said, but seeing as i was already in the middle of writing it, and it looks like it does, im sending it) Like, for instance, if all there was was a subtractive thing, like a zero mechanism-thing... zero purpose... what would you have, right? Youd then be subtracting... Youd be experiencing still, but calling it all zero... So on the most primitive subtractive level, it most certainly doesnt mean anything to you to keep subtracting and subtracting (not that you were doing it, its just a thought) Granted, on LsD / shrooms for example, you are introduced to something of a felt subtraction / machine, that you later are able to internalize into words that those w/ said exp., will recognize, assuming 'they follow that same realm of reasoning? (they might not have ur undivided attention that day, ya never know). Its like 10 years later, it finally paid off, it finally made some sense, and so, it starts to make much more sense at that point, that particular experience/state of consciousness. p.s. theres too many damn paths dangit. im confusing myself.
  2. Sorta, ya... theres less emphasis on like, the action by which its operated, like "the fast switch" part, since thats one of many mechanisms you could imagine it as, i mean, theres gonna be atleast "one" mechanism to underlie it, put it that way. Which is not to say that its as boring as it sounds, im just following your introduction.
  3. @Joseph Maynor This is kinda wat i was imaginin, tho its missin some rock / jazzy elements and such (im surprised by some ofthese covers, but the ai makes some unusually robotic vocal and rhythm decisions at points, like unatural stops imo)
  4. Jamaican cooking is part of the mystery school Speaking of beans, i wrote up this little jokey/rant β€” A midnight rant on cooking. It may come off critical, but ya gotta keep reading. i think it will fully cover all the moral stops and jenga and watknot, such that its not so bad. ... If you rewind the clock, there were alot of passionate mothers cooking food, And naturally we have lost alot of that passion and knowledge. Its just not a priority like it once was, and as a result, you have this new hierarchy / situation ill be revealing. ... To start w/ I wouldve said the Italian mother's really understood how to distill that affectation of the split components, such that you had that smooth, glossy affectation on one side... the dedicated entree (meat, vegetable, etc.) on the other, however most of those gransmas died w/ their recipes!... So then we go to the middle east, where everything is a little more rough and tumble, like you get more rough, grainy textures, less attention to affectation. Then we go back around to Georgia, Russia/Ukraine and those kinds of places... And thats where affectation starts to return a little, only made prominent once we arrive in Chinese/Japanese places, where plenty of knowledgable cooking alchemists are striving. The last stop is Jamaica, where good cooking is almost a requirement, and to me thats the last stop here, because everywhere else doesnt capture wat im tryina express, so much as they have like, signature street/fast foods, which do not fit in this criteria. It has to be more like an affectational meal, if you know what i mean by that... Like it cant be grainy textures nd watknot πŸ˜† It has to be like, the affectational meal made for people who have Crohns disease, like... Iuno its hard to explain. The only reason the middle east doesnt meet the full A+ criteria is because of traditions and dryness lvl (tell me im wrong, bet...). When people marry themselves to traditions, they miss out on that extra, extra love and innovation. Besides for that, middle eastern families are incredible cooks w/ highly prized recipes w/ alot of potential to investigate. As far as Greek food, to me Greeks (Ancient Greeks) are better at explaining what NOT to eat... to avoid a Crohns attack. Most families assume you should just consume, consume, consume, but to me, Greece is the only place that was like "We dont eat beans" (Pythagoreans + Orphics, etc.) I dare you to try eating baked beans one day, and tell me you dont feel like you have to go to the hospital 12 hours after. Regular beans, not only are they grainy, They have this texture that turns into concrete for some reason, so you have to be careful. Soybeans and fava beans are more like, specialized ejaculation beans. And for some reason, even though we love soy sauce, real Chinese soy sauces have more soy, and subsequently more of a BBQ flavor, which is why i prefer the Japanese/American soy sauce. But Chinese have all of the base recipes that we are now using as the pinnacle. If Italian grandmas were not all deceased, their food wouldve been the pinnacle, im tellin ya!... we just live in a shty time now. P.s. Alot of African Americans are really good at "cookin things up" if ya kno wat i mean, And i could imagine they would be A++ cooks, cause they actually have more technical cooking skills than most, where the difference between trash and *product comes down to the pico-second. So they actually have an experience no other person has, which is exactly that alchemical cooking principle that im talking about. They are all this generations cooks. White Americans? They are good at Ozempic face and things like this... I European cooks all died. Thats been my experience. They all died, lol. Its funny, even if, there are cases where its not true. Like I think the joke has more function to it than the details. Essentially, All the Other World's books depends on the bean counter, lol, whatever that means.
  5. Yous know my knowledge of Anime past the year 1995 is very weak, so i just started watching The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter... And i read the summary and im tryina understand wat im getting into here, as it sounds interesting but i dont get what its about... i see "books" in the title, but then i read bout the main char slipping into another world originally to save a girl... and the whole fantasy kingdom setting, but what was the book thing? And why did the main char start out saying hes gonna be like the group cook, or is that just like "ill worry bout making food on the journey", and not like "my profession is cook" p.s wow im learnin bout cooking from this show, as i didnt know scallion ginger sauce til now... i thought i always seen little bits of garlic but maybe it is ginger... hopefully it teaches me wtf that super savory like chickeny/oystery sauce flavor is, as ive spent a long time of not understanding wat it is...
  6. Whichever people, or... Whoever is into Islam... ya'll gotta start refuting each other or bring awareness towards what yous are sayin (your stance on war, and islam, etc.), or start a thread on it (assuming you dont wanna use this 1, which i welcome yous to use) and do it with genuine interest/curiosity and refutation behind it (As far as positing and refuting the opposite side thats refuting the opposing sides stance), because ya'lls keep gettin me caught in the center of two totally, randomly different ideas, and its not making any sense, in the greater realm of war and Islam... Which, i already knew that was gonna happen, but yall dont even have a thread for this, actively conspiring... taking place... Feel free to yous this as a platform, but please refute the opposing side (not me) for im not into religions, and i know less than any would who actually reads there bible / religious testimonies. Im independent. Im a homeless blind man basically.
  7. Jeff the yogu What is time, And can you be w/ nature, the birds and the bees, the body, the trees, and can you see what everything is, or forget and see to what truly is? Or is there something to see, a war to be freed from, and more and more and more, what do we seek, What is time when its 'let be, That time w/ eyes closed, heart so wide, whatever it may be on the other side. You'll see into air like time's flare, illumination stare from every direction you care. Its just a poem i wrote to illustrate the video. p.s. avidya was one of my names on another account, tho i just didnt use it much, suffice to say it communicated that side to this idea thats hard to describe, even tho im not a big sanskrit guy, theres avidya and a few terms we could def use
  8. (cont.) @NewKidOnTheBlock Like, i dont even sleep. I stay up 100+ hrs., just thinking into mystico-philosophico-wanderings... Apart from all of the art/language (so much so, that anything about religion and politics is very low on my register, beyond the bare-basic knowledge ive shared), and then i oscillate over that routine - over the course of a period or two, w/ the intention to get everyone thinking, wherever the needle may land; As the mean, median and mode of exploration / thinking in general.
  9. Good. The answers, "Yes". Its about whatever you are willing to share / participate in, overcoming any stigmas attached... The answer is "Yes". And "goood", As far as your willingness to share. Im tryina get some real muslim/ islam ppl thinking, for they are who keep stressin the significance of god and islam, but im the wrong pers. in their eyes, assuming they wanna cont., teachin me, for, im just a person getting everyone to think.
  10. We often get confused cause its like, once we focus in on one particular era or time, we miss the cultures, wars or events happening around the rest of the world, or in the rest of the age of man, etc., cause, to begin, you have humanity developing in Africa (i think its agreed that most humans started in Africa, and slowly evolved / branched out north/westward...) especially given the flood / coastal regions changing their shape... note: we're startin waaaay back now... and jumping ahead... That then leads to humans progressively moving west, but some return east, and back and forth, such that you get this larger spiral shape, smaller when we go back far enough, and it progressively spreads, such that you have Proto-Celtic / Scandanavian people cork screwing in, in what they call a corded ware culture(s) (among other more specific names) Which is just to say, i focus mostly on Ancient European places now, which is lesser known, compared to the middle east, which is well documented w/ artifacts for dating and such... I just like that mysterious Berber-Phoenician wave, and the subsequent A, B, C's Phone-a-bet, like the earliest mysteries of that .... Which i bring up to share something interesting that isnt "24-7 war..." And having to constantly think thats what its about. That would be terrifying. p.s., im also doin alot of language research, ive just taken a commercial break/hiatus, while... Although i feel its cool, its prolly not as important as communicating w/ real ppl to make sure that theres essential / real emotional content shared + passed down.
  11. Just so we all know the names of the eras in that range of periods, it is, considered as, roughly speaking, Late Antiquity β€” c. 3rd–7th/8th c. AD Migration Period β€” c. 375–568 AD (overlaps Late Antiquity) Early Medieval β€” c. 500/600–1000 AD Merovingian (Early Medieval, Frankish) β€” c. 481–751 AD Carolingian (Early Medieval) β€” c. 751–887 AD ... p.s. Carolingian minuscule was the standardized script developed under Charlemagne's reign (late 8th c.) Ottonian (Early Medieval) β€” c. 919–1024 AD High Medieval β€” c. 1000–1300 AD Romanesque (High Medieval) β€” c. 1000–1150 AD Gothic (High/Late Medieval) β€” c. 1150–1400 AD Scholastic (High/Late Medieval) β€” c. 1100–1400 AD Later or/Most-late Medieval β€” c. 1300–1500 AD Trecento (Late Medieval, Italy) β€” 1300s Renaissance β€” c. 1400–1600 AD Quattrocento β€” 1400s Cinquecento β€” 1500s Northern Renaissance β€” c. 1450–1580 AD .. et caetera.
  12. @NewKidOnTheBlock p.s. the name muhammed isnt unique to that bespoke late antiquity era, see also, Muhmed II "the Conqueror" β€” led the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453, ending the Byzantine Empire. Muhmed IV β€” Ottoman sultan during the failed 1683 Siege of Vienna and the long Great Turkish War that followed. Muhammad bin Tughluq β€” 14th-century Delhi Sultanate ruler, constant wars across India. Muhammad Shah β€” Mughal emperor during Nadir Shah's invasion of India (1739) and the sack of Delhi. Muhammad Ali of Egypt β€” 19th-century Ottoman-Egyptian wars, including campaigns in Arabia, Sudan, Greece, and Syria (1820s–40s). Muhammad Ahmad ("the Mahdi") β€” led the Mahdist War against Anglo-Egyptian forces in Sudan (1881–99), including the famous Siege of Khartoum. Askia Muhammad I β€” Songhai Empire wars of expansion in West Africa (late 1400s–early 1500s). And thats just some from 1400 to 1900, theres even more.
  13. Yous have roughly three options, as far as how ppl are to see your stance on war, generally speaking, A) "Im illiterate, so i dont know that theres a real worry around war / and i didnt know the passive case was even an option, B) "I do treat war passively, because, they are their own persons, their own independent persons, who can make tough decisions whilst doing so on their own trip and w/ their own necessary judgements", C) "I think of war like 5-10 year olds do, like its a win / a triumphant scene of celebration qnd badassery... a perpetual win... and losing is not an option .. losing is only what happens in a fantasy realm" ~which i bring up, for if anyone were to lose, it wouldnt feel very good, and you might rethink said win v. loss conditions. It might actually change who you are as a person, like you might become a crazy person to others who dont yet understand what that feels like deep down. Communicating which person you are is the only way to get on the same page as your compatriots.
  14. That counts as late antiquity, atleast in Peter Brown's work. The details of what you were on about werent what i was interested in anyway, it was the larger sentiment on war (see also, other threadz, to understand it)
  15. (cont.) Just to propel this forward β€” My views on war / religion are very very simple. If yous are gonna take over the world, then take over the world w/ decisiveness, but dont stagger us in the process w/ sillyness. Get on the same page as your compatriots β€” And do so where no one really cares, cause its not like yous are being judged by a not-God, right? Its all God, right? or no? Does God go on vacations? Like .. If everyone believes its Gods will, you have nothing to fear except Gods will. Which is not my belief, it is what yous believe, presumably. I expect yous to be on the same page if yous are gonna talk about a one religion / one god, otherwise yous are acting silly again.
  16. (cont.) There is like a real disconnection happening right now. Like, i cant follow everyone if you all keep changing-it-up on me, cause im here thinkin wars are B.A.D., like BÆD Bad ... And then some else says "Badass". That's demonstrating staggeringly different attitudes towards the same subject matter.
  17. I just find the description odd, per the description of *badass, As on one hand people are so worried about the war over in Israel v pales., And on the other, we are saying how badass the wars of (...) are... p.s. im not sure which historic wars we are speaking to... ... i mean i could create a list, Like... Late Antiquity β€” to 1900s theres just too many, even still, its just confusing me, the ratio of badassery v. the ratio of real worry about todays wars in the middle east. Everyones gotta make up their mind, whether their sentiment on war is overall passive, or if it IS a real worry, cause now im seein alot less overall worry.
  18. (cont.) Yous just need to research the interplay of Analog and digital, so yous can see the golden mean of utility and then you can understand the mathematics
  19. Wrong. Ai is really slow, and that means its not essentially anything but a slower version of ~ in the sense that, you have to train it, you have to speak to it, etc., and even then, its not especially tuned to do what you want β€” if what you want is something specific... Consider that Analog *device computing doesnt require ANY digital / pulse code modulations, and THAT is frast, As that can do exactly what you want, without any in between. Dont confuse the thing itself w/ something else. If what you want is a digital camera, then build a godamn digital camera, not a fake ai version from a pre-trained algorithm. The utility of computers is all about speed, otherwise we wouldnt have to have calculators, or anything else, cause we would just do everything by hand, and in this age, everything is being stressed to the edge, as computers are being forced to have lots and lots of information rolling at a time, and that is not something that can be taken lightly. Information adds up, and you are staggering the operations per second w/ whatever is in view, in this digital camera analogy.
  20. I dont watch this guy, whats-his-name, for hes still young and upcoming. But its still relevant for discussion, especially to alot of these new ppl arriving. Good point. Yes. We associate ourselves w/ personality traits, and material things, ideas we have about ourselves, etc., Theres many things you can mean or invoke when speaking of emotion, not to mention, you can talk about emotions logically, giving rise to the mechanism of those emotions, which may make it appear as "logic underneath of it'. Your ability to make logical sense is however one part of a system, and emotions are there to serve that system, which you might assume is one logical system, but that is assuming its logical. Theres no reason to refer to everything as logical in that way. It cancels out the meaning of logic when you make such conflations, cause its no longer \*functioning to highlight that aspect of the underlying metamorphic system pointed to... The morphogene system is both a detailed, PLUS a broader layered system, and we can speak about it in language, using a more "descript / detailed" method, or we can be broad, And typically we like to speak in the broader layer ofspeech. For that reason, unless you have experienced that detailed layer in such a way, you dont want to take logic to be the catch-all... Like, it is revealing something to the audience about your level of awareness, which is to say then, emotions play just as much of a part as logic does, in the same way "perception" is a large part of "reality, experience". Or in other words, the function of "emotion" is just as important as the function of logic, and the way you portray that morphogenic system is just as important as the underlying *definition that governs it.
  21. What do you mean by "God" Bonus: What do you mean by something "not existing?"
  22. (cont.) @Thought Art For all i know, Majed's islam asserts that family is first, and yours is prioritizing \*One / Nous / (G)od first-and-foremost. I can't refute what i dont know... I can only address the interpretations yous are giving.
  23. Well dont address me on that point, tell that to OP, cause ive not said anything about Islam *saying or having a one god in it. The OPs post also didnt refute that point. Address him on that front (as that's quite a different topic now, a substantial leap from the premise - of which the original poster @Majed introduced in his first post...)
  24. Im not sure if this is something anyone would be interested, and if no one is, then it can just disappear, per usual. But originally, i wanted to find somethin more like "Why Analog is important, for kids"... And i didnt find that, but this short vid., gave me the idea to demonstrate an audio engineering workflow w/ several analog components (to me it looked like digitally made stuff, cause ive never used/seen alot of those fancy little module devices... he prolly knows more than me in that area, iuno) Suffice to say it, demonstrates another non-Ableton live workflow, which to me is interesting. I like to find unusual audio engineering typeve things, As more of a demonstration of the versatile nature of putting together things, and recording / making music, etc., and doing so in New ways, given that.... this stuff is expensive. You dont always hav the money to follow someone elses massive collection of gear and stuff, not to mention like, iuno if they still even sell some of the really amazing devices from the 90s (some of the best stuff is that 80's and 90's mixers, instrumentation and such... which we've now have been replicating digitally but iuno how i feel about it yet), like ive been following this guy Colugo, whos still wrkin on Blockhead a new DAW typeve software, As its more along the lines of this new, innovative entry into this particular profession; I myself havent been as focused on this stuff, seeing as i cnt really afford it, but i can settle for looking at programming and the internal nature of it, but its hard to build a following or find like minded ppl .. its also not my main focus, but i encourage others to make it so, cause music breeds music, or like ... if you find one person, you are more likely to find other like minded individuals (p.s. i bought my dad this triton rack couple years back, but i never ended up tryin it myself as we both got too busy...)
